Chapter 25: Rising Internal Strife
Jiang Ge looked at Luo Jin, "You are... the one from Chai Heng’s side? Why are you here? A Xiyuan person... Capture her!"
Two men dressed in plain clothes following him were about to take action.
Luo Jin hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't misunderstand. In fact, I... I am Miss Qin's person!"
Jiang Ge's eyes flashed with surprise. He hurriedly waved his hand to stop, "Who... did you say?"
Luo Jin felt that it was fortunate that she was prepared. She took out the sachet from Qin Huaying, "This... this is a token!"
Jiang Ge snatched the sachet and held it in his hand, holding it like a treasure. His voice trembled a little, "Is she... is she okay?"
Luo Jin was about to say something, but suddenly saw Chai Qi walking up the stairs and was a little panicked. Jiang Ge had been to Dongyuan and this Dongyuan prince was so famous that he might recognize him. If Jiang Ge recognized him, Chai Qi would be in trouble. After all, this was Xiyuan Country. Jiang Ge was capable of mobilizing a large number of masters in this place. Although Chai Qi was good at martial arts, he was outnumbered.
"This... it's inconvenient here with so many people. Why don't we go inside and talk?"
Without waiting for Jiang Ge to answer, Luo Jin pushed open the door beside her and went in.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a man sitting at the table drinking tea. She was stunned when she saw the man, "Fifth Prince? Why are you..."
The door closed behind her instantly and a chill flashed behind her. She felt her waist tighten and her body turned around twice involuntarily. When she came to her senses, she was already standing behind Jiang Mo.
Jiang Ge held the dagger in his hand and said coldly: "What are you doing? She saw it!"
"She won't tell anyone." Jiang Mo whispered.
Jiang Ge frowned, but still put away the dagger, "Whatever, if this matter gets out. It's you who will die, not me."
Luo Jin took a long time to finally react, "You two...actually..."
She looked at Jiang Mo's still expressionless face, "So...if you can't beat them, join them, right? It's a good idea."
Jiang Mo softly acknowledged with an ‘en’.
[Jiang Ge is so scary. Was he going to kill me now? ]
[Fortunately Jiang Mo acted quickly. I’m so unlucky. How could I encounter the plague god as soon as I went out? ]
[Think about how to get out...]
[Jiang Mo is quite smart. He knows that if he can't beat Jiang Ge, he will cooperate with him. If Jiang Ge cooperates with him in acting, it can help him. ]
[Speaking of which, Jiang Ge is originally a big villain with a high IQ. He was caught before because he was in love. ]
[But after he had used Jiang Mo, maybe he will kill him? ]
[I have to remind Jiang Mo to be more careful. ]
Luo Jin looked up and smiled, "Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding. The Fifth Prince and I are old acquaintances and good friends. I will definitely not betray him. If Third Prince knows about this, he will definitely kill Jiang Mo. So I will definitely not tell him."
"I see." Jiang Ge looked at Jiang Mo meaningfully, "Since he told you everything, you are indeed a trustworthy person. Tell me about Huaying. How is she?"
"She...is not good. Quite bad." Luo Jin said, sighing.
Jiang Ge was anxious and gritted his teeth, "What happened to her? How dare the Emperor of Dongyuan abuse her?"
"No, she is well provided with food and clothing and an imperial doctor was sent to help her with her pregnancy." Luo Jin glanced at Jiang Ge, "It's that she misses her lover and becomes increasingly haggard. She cries all day long. I'm afraid that no matter how good the tonic is, it’s useless."
Jiang Ge remained silent and clenched his fists silently.
Luo Jin took the opportunity to say, "So, she sent me to find you and give you this sachet. She also brought a message..."
"What?" Jiang Ge asked anxiously.
"She said... If you are willing, you can also give her a token, so that she can see it and think of you." Luo Jin narrowed her eyes slightly.
Jiang Ge pondered for a while and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "This... please give it to Huaying, Miss Luo."
[Crown Prince's token should be useful in Xiyuan, right? ]
[It's so easy to get it. Hehe, it turns out that when in love, the IQ will instantly drop. ]
[Grand Tutor's suggestion... forget it. I don't want the situation to get out of control. ]
[How can I find a way to cure Jiang Mo's Heart-Devouring Gu? The mother poison is definitely not available. Third Prince must be keeping a strict eye on it. If the ‘Gu Experience’ is found, will there be other ways to cure the gu? ]
Jiang Mo lowered his head and the corners of his mouth raised a subtle arc.
Luo Jin tilted her head to look at him and asked curiously: "What are you smiling at?"
Jiang Ge said in surprise: "I have never seen him smile... are you sure he is smiling?"
Luo Jin couldn't help but glare at Jiang Ge, "Then you are a bad brother."
Amidst the talking, Jiang Mo stiffened out of the blue and covered his heart with his hand.
"The mother Gu... is nearby. Third Brother must be nearby too. He never let the mother Gu leave his side." He stood up, frowning, "Get out of here!"
Luo Jin hurriedly pulled Jiang Ge, "Let's go!"
If Third Prince saw Jiang Mo and Jiang Ge together, he would have to kill Jiang Mo on the spot.
"It's too late! I heard his voice," Jiang Mo looked around the room, "Hide... He's outside the door!"
"Why are you standing there?" Luo Jin saw Jiang Ge's reluctant look and couldn't resist pulling him again, "Let's go!"
She dragged Jiang Ge behind the screen, held his head, and stuffed him under the table behind.
Jiang Ge glared angrily, but didn't say anything.
The voices of the two guards brought by Jiang Ge rang out outside. "Do you think we can call a girl here?"
"Are you stupid? This is a restaurant, not a brothel. There is a brothel three miles to the east. If you want to call a girl, go there!"
Obviously, the two men saw Third Prince. Afraid of being discovered if they went directly into the room, they deliberately said something irrelevant loudly to hint that someone was coming and waited for the next instruction.
"It's hard for me to find you!" A voice drawled outside the door. Then the door was pushed open. A man in a purple robe walked into the private room with a smile.
Jiang Mo whispered, "Third Brother."
"You ran to a ghost place like Wujie City alone. Is there anything you can't tell me?" Third Prince Jiang Xu's voice was full of laughter, "You definitely don't want to betray me, right?"
Jiang Mo didn't speak.
Jiang Xu's voice became irritable at once, "What on earth are you doing in Wujie City? Do you want to betray me?"
He suddenly laughed again, "You all are not loyal! You all want to betray me, right? I knew long ago that none of you are good thing!"
Jiang Ge was startled by his sudden laughter, leaned back, and hit his head on the table.
Jiang Xu's laughter stopped abruptly, he looked behind the screen with a gloomy look, and uttered sternly: "Who is it?"
He waved his hand and the few servants with him walked toward the screen.
[Oh no, if he sees Jiang Ge, Jiang Mo will be dead! ]
[Jiang Ge's people are outside and they will not come in for the time being without instructions. If Jiang Ge is in danger, they will rush in to protect Jiang Ge. ]
[Jiang Mo's martial arts skills are obviously high, but he has a Heart-Devouring Gu on him. Mister Shi said that as long as Jiang Xu is willing, he can easily kill Jiang Mo and Jiang Mo has no way to resist. ]
Luo Jin turned her head and glared at Jiang Ge, stood up, and slowly walked out from behind the screen.
"So... there is a beauty hidden." Jiang Xu sized Luo Jin up and down with a discomforting gaze, "You have a good eye. Although she isn't a beauty that can topple a country, she is a rare beauty. This girl's eyes... are beautiful."
He laughed again, "I understand. You came to Wujie City to find a beauty! It's rare that my younger brother would be moved by love."
Luo Jin forced herself to calm down and smiled: "It turned out to be... His Highness Third Prince, show respect! It’s my fault that Third Prince suspects Fifth Prince."
Jiang Xu smiled and shook his head and said: "I thought my younger brother wasn't lustful, but it turned out... he has high standards! I like this beauty. Why not... lend her to me for two days, and I will return her to you in two days."
Jiang Mo raised his head at once, took a step back, and stood in front of Luo Jin. He stated in a deep voice: "No!"
"Don't be so stingy!" Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Jin with something in his eyes that made her extremely uncomfortable, “Two days... no, one day, I will return it to you in one day, okay? "
He didn't wait for Jiang Mo to answer, but waved his hand. The attendant beside him walked directly toward Luo Jin.
Seeing that the attendant headed to Luo Jin's side and was about to reach out to her, Jiang Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed the attendant's shoulder, exerted force and swung a palm. The attendant screamed and flew out. His shoulder was red, obviously injured.
Seeing this, another attendant drew a sword from his waist and swung the sword to meet him.
As Jiang Mo was about to fight back, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. His body softened, he covered his chest, knelt on one knee, and spit out a mouthful of blood. The servant's sword had already been swung out, and he had no time to dodge. A deep blood mark appeared on his chest.
Luo Jin saw that Jiang Xu was holding a delicate small square box in his hand, which was particularly shining with gold.
Jiang Xu's gloomy voice sounded, "What? Do you think that you can occasionally disobey my orders?"
He knocked on the small square box gently.
Jiang Mo's body instantly spasmed. His breathing became extremely heavy and he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood again.
Luo Jin subconsciously covered her mouth.
This situation was much more serious than the attack on the night of the full moon.
"Let's go, little beauty," Jiang Chu slowly stood up with an exaggerated smile, "Let me take you to have fun! "
The sword-wielding attendant smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Luo Jin's arm, "Let's go!"
Luo Jin's face was pale. Her feet didn’t listen.
Jiang Mo suddenly jumped up. His figure flashed in front of Luo Jin and waved his palm to hit the attendant. In an instant he vomited blood and retreated more than ten steps.
Jiang Xu's face sank. He stretched out his finger to flick the small box again.
Jiang Mo's body trembled violently. Blood gushed out of his mouth again. He struggled not to fall down, but Luo Jin clearly saw that his eyes had begun to become glazed because of the pain.
